DNC panel finds Hogg and another official weren't properly elected to leadership

[JustAnotherGen]

15. Timeline is Critical

Procedural Question - Were the DNC Rules technically applied correctly?

*February 1st – DNC has the Vice Chair Vote

*February 28th – Kayln Free submits her challenge to the results Very clear that the two men were allowed to be voted on twice – whereas the three women were only allowed to be voted on once. The two men start with a +400 vote advantage to reach the 200 votes needed to be selected chair.

*April 15/16 – David Hogg announces his Super Pac with a $20M to primary Democrats in safe seats.

*April 28th - Kalyn Free advised her argument would be heard on May 12th.

*May 12th - The hearing occurs. The new members will all vote in August. Kenyatta and Hogg keep their seats until that time.


The DNC Violated the parliamentary rules. There was to be one woman, one man, and one of either gender.

The first ballot: Not enough votes to meet the threshold

Second ballot: Ms. Blanco gets picked.

Third ballot: There should have been TWO lines. One for two men, and One for any gender. That didnt' happen. The three women had to compete with fewer votes - as the men's votes were counted twice.

In August there will be another vote where the ballot will be corrected.


I don't LMV? Maybe the women of color who had a smaller pool of votes on a five person ballot should just sit down, shut up, and not speak up for themselves because it might hurt some man's feelings?

I was going to do this as an op - but decided we should get all of the facts together in one thread.
